No, I don't think so. It's the same style O as a zero on a digital clock. You don't see/hear anyone saying it's 12:DD do you? IF you see a D you have problems. Time to see an eye doctor methinks.

My house-mate and I have three cats between the two of us: His cat, Fat Bob (age 18), my cat, Vermin (age 11), and Fat Bob's minion, Chunk (age 4). Fat Bob is probably a high-ranking member of the Illuminati and is the only cat I've known who will battle the vacuum cleaner. He also seems to talk the other cats into doing his bidding, especially Chunk.

We feed the cats with free-fed kibble out 24 hours a day; we don't have dogs or children, so it's really not that big a deal. I also give the cats each a half-can of canned food every night at 11.15pm, just before the house-mate leaves for work, timed so that he can help me give his cat his cancer medication. At around 9.30pm, though, Chunbk is deputised to follow me around and be super-lovey until I feed them. On the house-mate's days off, though, I don't always feed on time, and this is when Chunk is usually given orders to be **SUPER-ANNOYING**.

I confess - I also was wondering what ANNDY was... I think there's an optical illusion type effect when you look at it zoomed out - you have the vertical N on one side, but extra space on the other cause of the Y... I think it distorts perception. It's much more clearly an O on the zoomed in image (to me anyway).
"meow"... well even without coffee yet, my brain doesn't have a problem recognizing that one ;)
Regardless - It's a really great shirt!

I have one of the LeBistro non-automatic (manual?) feeders with dry food, but it doesn't matter. It's the gushy food in the morning they want.

Actually, I don't even think it's food that motivates my biggest cat, Alex. He just wants petting. At 5am. I think he sneaks on the Internet and gets tips from Simon's cat. Thank goodness he hasn't used a baseball bat yet. After he gets tired of smacking, he'll settle on my back & breathe in my ear. Rolling over for another 15 minutes usually doesn't work. I lay and listen to him smacking one of the other cats or making noises that I HAVE to get up to investigate. [sigh]

Congrats, Diana! I REALLY didn't want to spend money this weekend, but I'm in for 1.

I like the cat... really like the Meow background... and I love the color. But HATE the comment boxes. To me the visual of the cat with the endless "MEOWS" says it all! Why ruin it with big comment boxes! I think the comment boxes cheapens the shirt.

I just started with WOOT. I've bought 3 shirts so far (2 for my 15 yr old son, 1 for me). I would have purchased 2 of these shirt for me and my son if the comment boxes weren't there.

The comment box is part of the joke, it's a cat joke AND a pokemon joke. It came from the 8-bit game as RL derby so it was quite fitting.

It's also why the O looks kinda square, because you can't really make round edges in 8 bit.

This thread is further proof that you don't have to be an infamous or disliked artist to get criticized here. It's just the nature of teh intertubes. ;)

My orange kitty combines Annoy with Screen Block. Every morning when I'm trying to scope out the new shirt of the day she sits in front of the screen using Annoy until I feed her. I will attempt IGNORE while wearing this shirt and report back on the effectiveness!

We've got a plethora of cats and there are a couple that will cry non-stop. One of them will continue for hours until I finally feed him; it matters not that there are three large free feeders throughout the house, he doesn't want that, no, he wants Fancy Feast. So, I'll dish some up for him, put him in the bathroom and shut the door so the other vultures let him eat.

Within five minutes I can hear him in the bathroom "I'm done! I'm done! let me owwwwt!" I open the door, he's eaten maybe a bite and a half, but he's happy.

For three and a half minutes, then it starts again. He started doing this in the evening when I'm on the sofa watching television after the cats get their evening meal. He just doesn't shut up. The first time my husband actually paid attention, he just sat there slack jawed, watching Kirby. "What's wrong with him?" he asked.

Damned if I know, I just wish he'd shut up.

Then there's Potter. Who'll start crying if he can't see you. Or if he can see you, but you're too far away to pick him up. Or if you're sitting at the dining room table with food that he thinks he wants.

I've complained about the whining to my friends, even had them ask "who is that crying?" when we're on the phone. I got a call this afternoon. "Hey, did you see the shirt on Woot! today?" Yeah, I already got it. "Oh, okay, I was going to buy it for you..."

See, I'll be eating something that he doesn't like....say salad. He will Annoy. I will offer it to him. He will sniff it and rebuke it. But a few moments later, he will Annoy again until I let him sniff again.

I think he believes that eventually the salad will magically transform into gooshifuds. He wants to be there when that happens!
